What New Wednesday: Glam Gifts for Grads

The first email in my inbox this morning was from my Alma mater, highlighting this past weekend's commencement ceremonies. Besides just making me feel old, it also reminded me that it's graduation time. Which of course, means gifts.

So if, by chance, you have a sister, niece, cousin, daughter, or friend of a neighbor graduating this spring, we've got you covered. Here are some my favorite new sets that say, "Congrats, Grads!" (Welcome to the rest of your life, suckers.)

I currently use every product in this kit in my beauty routine, so I can vouch for their efficacy. We also all know that if you don't already have a beauty routine, creating one from scratch can be daunting. This set of bestsellers is a great place to start (or if you need travel versions of some of your favorites, which is why I'm buying it).

Let's just be honest here (we're all friends, right?) Most recent graduates most likely will not have the disposable income to spend on on high end lip treatments. But Fresh Sugar Lip might be the best thing ever, so why not treat your grad to a little lip luxury? And then apologize, because after they finish this set they'll spend all of their disposable income on lip treatments.

This kit is basically the definition of "all-inclusive". It's got a palette of beautiful nudes, 3 of Too Faced's amazingly soft, cruelty-free brushes to apply them with, a deluxe sample shadow insurance and mascara, and a (current favorite of mine) full-size three-way liner. With their eye wardrobe complete, now all your grad will have to focus on is getting a job.
